Theresa Fitton

#NHS75 without the NHS, exchange transfusions and specialist neonatal care I would not be here. Proud to work for the NHS, proud of my teams and lucky to have made lifelong friends in my career.

If we are a team then no job should be seen as beneath you If we are here to help each other then we do things we might not usually do… Whether that’s taking minutes, printing labels, emptying bins, checking stock, cleaning up or folding laundry No hierarchy at times of need

As another wave of #RCNStrike action comes to a close, our members send a clear message. Prime Minister @RishiSunak, it’s your choice: 1. Choose for strikes to continue 2. Choose to negotiate #FairPayForNursing #SafeStaffingSavesLives

We’re delighted to have teamed up with the @NHSEngland to mark the NHS’s 75th anniversary this July 👉 parkrun.me/fjp06 NHS staff and volunteers, as well as local communities, will be encouraged to ‘parkrun for the NHS’ on 8 and 9 July. 🌳 #loveparkrun #NHS75parkrun

Please stop using JUST-Without you, nothing in the #NHS would function I’m just a HCA I’m just a porter I’m just a cleaner I’m just a receptionist I’m just a cook I’m just a technician I’m just a band 2,3,4,5… YOU are helping to run the NHS YOU are amazing ✊ YOU are valued 🌟

I thought long & hard about whether to take part in the nurses strike this week. I thought & hoped this would never be needed. Yesterday & today, I went on strike for patient safety, for safer staffing, for the safety & well being of my colleagues & for the future of our NHS.

Throughout #RCNStrike action the overwhelming messages of solidarity from patients and the public alike has given our members that extra strength to keep going. Thank you for your unwavering support. Together we will continue this fight to protect you and the NHS.

You are powerful. You are passionate. You are your patients' greatest advocate. You are fighting for what you are owed. To everyone who supported this week's strikes, thank you. We will keep going and we will win. #FairPayForNursing #RCNStrike #SafeStaffingSavesLives

Another day of RCN strikes for fair pay. Making history with ⁦@HannahK53805388⁩

2nd stop in Brighton at Sussex Community Trust again meeting formidable passionate nursing staff who are determined to keep going on behalf of their patients #RCNStrike

@SteffiBailey @PullanPullan7 I can think of several HCAs in Crawley that would love to do this.

@PullanPullan7 Haha! Not as good as these, but I thinks it something we need to get involved with 💃

Amazing 🤩 @SteffiBailey how are your dance moves?

If no action is taken to resolve the record number of unfilled nursing jobs then we risk losing the NHS. We need #FairPayForNursing to turn this around and give the public the care they deserve. RT to show your solidarity with nursing staff like Ellie. #RCNStrike #NursesStrike

"We need you to take this seriously." As our fourth day of strike action begins across England, our members call on Rishi Sunak to stop strike action, protect patients and defend our NHS with a fair deal on pay. Share this post if you agree. #FairPayForNursing #RCNStrikes
